What a weekends worth of racing. The new track on the national calendar proved to be testing for most riders with steep chutes, off chamber corners and rock drops. With no berms in sight and no significant jumps the track was easy on the eye but when riding, it was a sketchy track that claimed many riders with some, serious injuries. Elite men’s racing was won by Cris Kovarik who was coming off a win at the national champs in Adelaide, dominated the weekend having the fastest seeding time and took out the elite men’s final by nearly 4 seconds. Second was Shaun O'Conner ahead of Amiel Cavalier who holds the leaders jerseys going into Thredbo next round. Rick Boyer took 5th behind Rhys Atkinson in 4th.
Troy Brosnen won 19's convincingly ahead of Aden Wyber in second.
Elite women’s final was won by Claire Buchar wife of Kovarik, husband and wife take the double win.
Congratulations to all place getters and Rick Boyer whose name we like to see towards the top, yeew!
Next round is in Thredbo, always a favorite amongst riders.
